Friday, the 32nd final of the Coupe de France between Lyonnais and Paris FC at the Charléty stadium in Paris was definitively interrupted, while the score was 1-1 at half-time, after clashes in the stands.
After jets of smoke around the Lyon platform, fights broke out and crowd movements then took place, leading to the deployment of security forces who came to lend a hand to the stewards.
Although pleading for a “shared responsibility”, the president of OL, Jean-Michel Aulas, is more and morecalculated after the new excesses of some Lyon supporters. On Wednesday, he was penalized with five matches of firm suspension for verbally attacking the referee during the match against Marseille, interrupted after a plastic bottle throw against the Marseillais Dimitri Payet.
